Edwardian unveils new London landmark hotel
Edwardian Hotels London has unveiled a new landmark hotel in the English capital.
Located on Leicester Square, the ambitious hotel will be called The Londoner, a name dedicated to the iconic city that inspired the pioneering purpose-built destination. Scheduled to open in 2020, the five-star 15-level hotel is set to transform London’s hospitality scene.
Iype Abraham, commercial development director at Edwardian Hotels London, said: “The Londoner exemplifies Edwardian Hotels London’s bold philosophy. Building a complex and ambitious project in an iconic area is a demonstration of our commitment to London and our ability to deliver high-quality, sustainable, integrated hotels designed for the future.
“We are privileged to play a pivotal role in the regeneration of Leicester Square and contribute to the evolving skyline of London.”
Designed for grand and intimate occasions; The Londoner has 350 rooms and 15 suites; five concept restaurants and lounges including a spectacular rooftop bar; a state-of-the-art ballroom for up to 1,000 guests, two new Odeon Luxe cinemas and a unique subterranean spa. The Londoner will offer a vibrant urban escape to everyone who walks through its doors.
Rob Steul, creative director at Edwardian Hotels London and lead designer of The Londoner, added: “It has always been the vision of our chairman to develop a lifestyle hotel destination in a prime central London location and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to bring this aspirational vision to life; from conceptualising the original design through to overseeing the development and delivery of the hotel.
“The Londoner celebrates and captures the drama of its vibrant West End neighbourhood and I am confident that its striking contemporary design, sophisticated social spaces and its collection of distinctive restaurants and lounges will set it apart.”
Edwardian Hotels London has teamed up with international, best-in-class partners to deliver The Londoner by 2020 including project engineers Arup, project developers McGee, interior design team Yabu Pushelberg and project architects Woods Bagot.
